On Holy Thursday, Jesus ate the Last Supper with his disciples. We are inviting you to recreate the Last Supper table.
Example
On Good Friday the Faith First families are invited to attend the Stations of the Cross. You can do this special activity before attending:
Before attending the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, we are inviting you to create a prayer chain. On separate strips of paper please write your name, prayer intentions, or sins that weigh you down. On Good Friday, place the chain next to a crucifix at home as way to remember that Jesus loves you so much that he died for our sins.
When you are finished making one send us a picture
On Saturday night, we celebrate the Easter Vigil and light the Easter candle also known as the Paschal Candle. You are invited to create your own Easter candle either by using paper or by modifying a candle you already have at home. When you complete your Easter Candle, send us a photo.
Use these examples to help you build your candle to light on Saturday Night:
If you like baking, you can try out this recipe called Resurrection Rolls! There is a fun little teaching to go with them. Submit a photo of you baking your rolls. Do not forget to read the teaching as you bake and eat the goodies!
